Today on TED Talks Travel, we’re talking about something every traveler—and every human—feels at one point or another: being overwhelmed.

Ted breaks down where overwhelm comes from, why it hits even the most seasoned travelers, and how small mindset shifts can bring joy back into the journey. Whether you’re preparing for a big cruise, planning a complex itinerary, or just navigating a busy season of life, this episode offers practical reminders, grounding thoughts, and a little encouragement to help you reset.

✨ In this episode:

• Why overwhelm often shows up before the adventure
• How to simplify planning without losing the magic
• Ted’s go-to techniques for staying present
• A reminder that travel is supposed to be enjoyed—not perfected

If you’ve ever felt buried by the details or stressed before a trip, this one is for you.
 Take a breath. Enjoy the process. Your next great adventure is still yours to shape.
